I'll have been beheaded - as I won't become a Muslim.

Some of you "conservatives" probably have a confession to make. That you were actually a democrat when you were young and at some point had a political and intellectual awakening to realize they were selling bull shite. I've been called a lot of names in this thread - but I'm as conservative as it gets now, I just had a journey to go on.
And I am a boomer - and I see my younger co-workers trying hard to make a life for themselves and it's hard. I worked at a grocery store to pay my way through college. You literally can't do that now, not to any major university. We have to wake up and listen to the reality the younger generations face. Call them out for being snow flakes as they often are, but also acknowledging the reality of the current world and the difficulty to get by.

I used to be neighbors with a guy who retired from the Pontiac divsion. He had full board healthcare coverage for life - he and his wife had coverage from GM from the time he retired at 55 till he died at 90. That's a bit ridiculous. Imagine building that into the cost of a car.
We are a Republic - look it up.

At that age you don't have perspective - you don't know history. You probably just became politically aware a few years ago.
The current generation does not have an easy go of it. Education, houses and cars cost a fortune. It wasn't like that when I was a young man. I can see how the future looks a bit hopeless.
And if you don't have hope - you'll believe the promises of people who say they'll make it right. They'll do it by making someone else pay their fair share, they'll Eat the Rich, you'll get free everything. Those holding you back a Nazi's and racists - we may have to kill a few to get our way. I can see it, I can see it - it's not so hard to do.
I'm hoping common sense kicks in - but we're on a knife's edge. Between the democrats worthless promises and their cheating, they could take control. If they get control, they're going to rig everything so they never lose control again. If that happens, it's all over for this country.

Reformed pot smoker - not smoked in over 40 years. But I do think it should be legal, taxed and regulated the same as alcohol. Take the tax money and develop anti marijuana consumption campaigns, the same as they did with cigarattes. But don't send someone to prison for Pot - it's not that big of a deal.

Perimeters? Is that a bad autocorrect from Parameters?
Apart from that - these so called deals with Iran are starting to feel like Lucy holding the football for Charlie Brown, yet again.

Here's what Grok or XAI says. I find this AI has the least bullshite.
Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 makes it a crime for any person in the civil, military, or naval service of the United States (this covers federal law enforcement officers, including ICE agents) to order, bring, keep, or have under their authority “any troops or armed men at any place where a general or special election is held,” unless the force is necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States. Violations carry fines, up to five years in prison, and disqualification from federal office.
This provision dates to 1865 (Reconstruction era) and is widely understood to ban armed federal agents from polling places, election offices, and related sites. Related statutes further prohibit federal interference in elections and voter intimidation (including 18 U.S.C. §§ 593, 594, 595 and provisions of the Voting Rights Act). Presence that intimidates voters is itself illegal.
ICE’s core mission is immigration enforcement; it has no general role in election administration or polling-place security. States run elections under the Constitution.

Britain hasn't drawn the line at beheadings in the street, massive increase in rapes of their young women, massive economic decline or trampling their free speech rights.
But you wait until a few fundamentalist get caught abusing one of the protected classes on a regular basis - then perhaps - driven by the media - they may stand up and fight. Unfortunately - the media seems to be in on the grift.

If you cultists had any self-awareness you would see how embarrassing you are.
The only reason Israel comes up in the discussion is because of the loud and decades long threats to Israel by Iran. Pure puffery until you actually have the tools to do it.
Trump never pledged the US to give money to Iran - but rather a coalition of Gulf States - and the funding was tied to behavior metrics of the Iranian government. It was the complimentary carrot to the current stick philosophy. Personally - I don't believe they should get a dime until the Theocracy is overthrown and a country with strong democratic institutions is stood up.

How has Britain changed over the decades
Posted by Marquesa on 7/24/26 at 9:31 pm
I asked AI to research it for me. I asked it to track the change in Muslim population and separately - the number of Non Christians. The country is no longer a majority Christian nation as of 2021. I've heard it said that minority groups have almost no political power until they reach at least 2% of the population. Once they reach that metric, that's enough of a voting population - if they vote as a block - to influence policy. How many politicians would sell their soul to pick up a percentage or two of the vote. We can't let this happen here or we will suffer the same sorry fate. I want to preserve the culture we have here. I'm not racist or Islamaphobic - I just want to preserve the culture we have now. It has intrinsic value and it should not be wiped from the face of the earth.
Year Muslim % Non-Christian % Notes
----------------------------------------------------------
1971 ~0.5% ~15–25% Estimate (Muslim ~226k)
1981 ~1.1% ~25–35% Estimate (Muslim ~553k)
1991 ~1.9% ~35–45% Estimate (Muslim ~950k)
2001 3.0–3.1% ~28% First full census (Christian ~72%)
2011 4.8–4.9% ~41% Census (Christian 59.3%)
2021 6.5% ~54% Census (Christian 46.2%)

What's so hard about understanding the Iran war
Posted by Marquesa on 7/24/26 at 9:20 pm
Iran was building a rapidly expanding ballistic missile force capable of striking every major city in Europe—including London. For decades it pursued nuclear weapons and stood on the threshold of producing them in significant numbers. Once those two programs matured, Iran would hold the Middle East—and the oil that powers the modern industrial world—in a vise. Like North Korea, it would become untouchable.
The regime had repeatedly vowed to wipe Israel from the map. It calls America the “Great Satan” and makes no secret that we are next. Its leaders are driven by an apocalyptic Shia ideology that awaits the return of the Twelfth Imam and the Mahdi—an end-times figure whose arrival, in their view, requires the destruction of those who reject their faith.
I wish some other nation or coalition would share the burden of policing this threat. Europe may finally be stirring, but we could no longer wait. The United States had to act. The costs are real. They are still far smaller than the price of a nuclear-armed Iran able to deliver warheads across half the globe—and, eventually, into our own backyard.

re: When do Boomers take ANY accountability?

I'm a boomer.
I worked hard and paid my taxes and bills. I have never been a burden on society. What exactly have I done to anyone? If you want to blame anyone, blame Congress and blame FDR's New Deal and Lyndon Johnsons great society.
Conservatives build and create, then liberals create policies of jealousy and greed that destroy it all and blame the "rich" and conservatives for the failure. The Democrats are the arsonist and the purported fireman and you blame the carpenter who built the house for the destruction.
